Name for the new album?

[psychocandy65]

Twi-hard: (insert squeal here) OMG!!! I, like, LUV Twilight!! It's, like, the best movie EVER and the books are, like, the best books EVER written!!! Edward is, like, sooooooo hot!! I want him to, like, make me a vampire too, so that I can, like, marry him!!!

Have you ever heard Frank Zappa and daughter's "Valley Girl" single? Stuff like this always makes me think of the vacuous airhead voice in which she delivers the inane "oh my gaaaawd, I was just so totally, like, y'know, oh my gaaaawd" chatter , while Frank sings "she was a Valley Girl" over and over again!

There's always been a certain doomed air of romance about the vampire in fiction and film, more so than there ever was in folk tales, where mostly they're repellent things you wouldn't want to share a glass of red with in some Transylvanian Tavern! People tend to forget, or don't even know that Dracula in the original book is not the suave dark-haired aristocrat portrayed by Lee and Lugosi, but a somewhat wizened old man with long grey droopy moustache and long fingernails!.. I think this trend towards the mooning swoonsome teen heartthrob undead like Edward and all this Twilight nonsense can probably be traced back to a starting point of Jason Patric in the Lost Boys, then Angel in Buffy The Vampire Slayer (still easily one of the greatest TV series ever aired). Okay, Angel was the doe-eyed, lantern-jawed, leather trousered tortured soul etc, but he was a part of an amazing ensemble cast, and there was a real ugly, cruel, vicious vampiric side to him, whereas this lot seem to have been neutered, de-fanged and primped with the soul intention of fleecing shitloads of money from the hormonal MTV teen fanbase.

Yeah, I've heard it. It used to be funny until every teenage girl in America started talking that way. It's killing the old regional dialects that made America so varied and interesting. Where I live, along the Chesapeake Bay, we have accents that haven't changed since the 17th-century. Early Modern English was the language spoken in the 16th-17th centuries. According to linguists, the accent of Smith and Tangier Islands is the closest to Early Modern English (the language spoken by the original English colonists). House is pronounced "hoose" and about is "abote." The accent of the Tidewater area of the Chesapeake is almost as old. That's the area I grew up in. Instead of "high tide" we say "hoi toide." It's like a living time capsule and it was great as long as the area remained relatively isolated. However, that couldn't last. Tangier Island is a small island located out in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. The islanders are a hardy lot and make their living primarily as watermen. Now many Tangier teenagers speak like Valley girls and few want to make their living as crabbers or oystermen. You can still find a few old-timers who speak the original Tangier dialect, but they're slowly passing on. The Smithsonian Institution is trying to record as much of the dialect as they can before it becomes extinct. It's one of the last surviving links to Jamestown.

Ocracoke Island and The Outer Banks as a whole are one of the fricking coolest places in the U.S.
Nothing like renting a house on stilts and hangin at the beach. Way cool area. The Lighthouse on Ocracoke Island is really cool.

Too right!! I was just there last week - had the house on stilts, hung at the beach and visited Ocracoke too!

Crikey, we're way off topic in this thread as well now! It's like the History Channel on here now!... if we keep on like this, we'll have derailed the entire board in a matter of hours!

[Ouroboros]

By golly you're right! Therefore, to get back into an SxDx state of mind, let me say that my tickets have arrived!

I wasn't there. However, it was captured on video (at 1:03) - so I have a source for this!

Grown men acting like infantile chil'ens on the road ... I like that!

[Jen415]

Damn, I was hoping for Shake Ass.

[King of Fools]

Claudia Trupp might not like it. I could see lawyers (besides ms. Trupp) getting involved.

Worst.title.ever.

Yeah I said it, this one makes "Sex Love and Rock N Roll" sound clever.

You gotta be f&cking kidding me! I had to watch that twice to make sure I heard it correctly. I hope he's joking.

Is Birds Of a Feather going to be the lead single? As the old Mike Ness would say "Jesus F&cking Christ".

I think some of the girls bands today got more balls than the guys, dont you? And by the "guys" I mean Social D.

Im sorry for bitching but that is a terrible title, just awful.

It sure sounds better! ... Although with a baby on the way, I could always argue that the baby should listen to the album, seeing as it is full of nursery rhymes.

Don't care for the album title, at least the release is getting nearer.

Well, Mike says it comes out in November, which is 4 months away, so I wouldn't go so far as to say nearer or closer since November is still far.

What?????
Nope, it's no good... I've read that post 3 or 4 times, and it just gets more Zen and existential each time I read it!

[Senomar]

Life goes by so fast, so 4 months are a piece of cake.

[kustom55]

He did say it comes out November, but he didn't say which November
